Regardless, this was her first time in the Banished Lands. If she wanted to search for the Hell's Lotus in the vast Banished Lands, it would be impossible for her to do it on her own. Hence, she needed to establish an organization!
Murong Yan was in a daze. The excitement on her face slowly disappeared. She seemed to be hesitating, unable to make up her mind.
"Lady Gu, I may be the next Master of the Murong family but Grandfather is still alive. I can't make this decision on my own."
If it had been any other request, Murong Yan would have agreed to it without hesitation. However, this matter involved too many things and even involved the entire family. She could not make the decision on her own!
"You've misunderstood me." Gu Ruoyun saw through Murong Yan's thoughts and smiled calmly, "I have no intention of subduing the Murong family. The person in charge of the Murong family is still the Master of the Murong family! I will not change your structure! I only want the Murong family to follow me! Everything else will remain the same. "
Murong Yan fell silent. She had hesitated in the beginning because she was worried that Gu Ruoyun would merge the Murong family into her own organization. That would cause the Murong family to disappear.
Since the Murong family still existed, she would have to agree to this request on behalf of her grandfather in order to save his life.
"Alright, I promise you."
Murong Yan raised her head at the thought of this and spoke with a determined look in her eyes, "However, I have one request as well. The members of the Murong family must still bear the Murong surname!"
This woman's talents were far too powerful. Following her would only bring benefits to the Murong family. There would never be any harm to it!
"Take me to see your grandfather." Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders, "If we go in time, he can still be saved. However, if some illnesses drag on for too long, not even the gods can do anything about it."
Murong Yan's heart clenched and she nodded, "Alright, Lady Gu, please follow me."
Then, she turned around and led Gu Ruoyun towards Master Murong's bedroom.
...
In the spacious and brightly lit bedroom, an old man with a pale face was lying on the bed without a sound.
This old man was not just skinny. He was so skinny that he was just skin and bones. If it were not for the slight breathing coming from the tip of his nose, no one would believe that such a skinny man was still alive!
"Lady Gu, can my grandfather be saved?"
Murong Yan stared at Gu Ruoyun anxiously and asked worriedly.
Gu Ruoyun's furrowed brows slowly relaxed as she calmly replied, "He's been poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
Murong Yan and Lu Shaochen looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Grandfather had always stayed at the Murong family home and had never left. How could he have been poisoned?
"Lady Gu, are you sure that he was poisoned?"
No matter what, Murong Yan still found it hard to believe this outcome.
"That's right, he's been poisoned. He's been poisoned by a poison called Bone Eroding. This poison will cause a person to lose weight and gradually die. I estimate that in less than half a month, he'll be beyond help."
Gu Ruoyun said calmly.
Murong Yan had a lot of faith in her powers. Since she had said so, there was no way she could be lying.
"Who would be so heartless as to harm my grandfather? Miss Gu, can my grandfather be saved? " As she spoke, Murong Yan raised her eyes and stared at the woman in green with anticipation.
Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, "He can be saved, but it will take some time. I'll use the silver needles to detoxify him later. He'll recover in about five days."
